Jake's Birthday!

It was Jake's Birthday on Sunday! I am so glad there is a day to celebrate Jake! He is such an awesome husband, and a great friend to me! And such a fun, cute Dad to the girls! We had a great time celebrating! This was my first attempt at being a cake decorator! Let's just say I won't be starting a business anytime soon! Hopefully practice will eventually make perfect! It is just funny how you have something envisioned in your head and then the finished product looked quite a bit different! Oh Well, I think it turned out good enough that you should be able to tell it is a Ute Jersey! Thanks to the Utes for winning the big game on Saturday, any of you that know Jake will realize that them winning was Present Enough!!!

The Birthday Boy!!

Make a Wish!

Jake with Sam, Me with Sadie


They love waking Daddy up in the morning! Sam standing.


The girls are showing off their newest trick! They have discovered that they can climb up on our tall kitchen table chairs! Although it is entertaining to see them be so proud of their new accomplishment, it sure makes things more interesting!! Goodbye Tablerunner with Centerpiece! Sadie left, Samantha right.

I just have to give credit to my cute husband, for my "Just Because" flowers! It meant so much to me! I think Jake was actually missing Paris! (Like he does atleast once a day!) And remembered how we loved to buy fresh flowers from the cute little shops right by our flat! Fun Memories!

I have received requests to post more video of the girls! I'm glad you enjoy them as much as we do! I have to apologize in advance for my horrible rendition of Ring around the Rosy!

Halloween Etc.

We had a fun time celebrating Halloween! We tried to get the girls to say "Trick-or-Treat", but we ended up settling for a "Boo" instead! These first pictures are from a fun party they held at Jake's work, they went all out! There were fun little crafts to make, cookie decorating, balloon animals, a spiderweb catch (aka fish pond), good food and a huge trick or treating set up!

We also hit up our old ward's trunk or treat! It was so great to see all of our good friends!

Aren't our little friends costumes so cute?! Elsie is a giraffe and Amelia a chicken! To be honest...I can't tell which twin that is?! Oops!

Samantha

Okay this is bad.....I have not mixed them up in a long time! I really thought this was Sadie and now all the sudden I think it might be Samantha?! I promise in real life I can always tell them apart!!!

Okay, this one I'm sure! Sam left, Sadie right

We met up with some friends at the Deanna Rose Farmstead, it is a fun little farm where you can check out the animals and if you are brave (which I am not) then you can get in and pet the animals and feed the lambs bottles etc. We will have to bring Jake along next time, he is brave!

I just thought this one was too cute to not share!! Samantha left, Sadie right

They are geting so good at saying "Cheese" for the camera!

Here is a video clip of us trying to get the girls to show off!!
